Lipstick Queen - Peacock Alley

Poppy King is one lady who sure knows what she wants. Leaving school aged 18 to create and develop her own lipstick line, the resulting 20 years of hard work and product passion have most certainly paid off. Running the wonderfully quirky, innovative and high quality brand Lipstick Queen, this Christmas marked the release of her current limited edition collection: Peacock Alley.

Designed to be worn either mixed or alone, these non-sticky glosses were simply born to show off. Packed full of shimmer and shine, these delicate shades instantly propel your natural lip colour into what Poppy simply describes as 'serious pops of wow!'

Sway, Strut & Saunter glosses

The colours themselves are wonderfully versatile. I'm absolutely smitten with Strut, a bright bubble gum pink that applies to the lips in the most beautifully sheer manner. When teamed with Sway - a clear shimmer packed, ultra shiny glaze - my lips transform into something even Angelina Jolie would be proud of. Poppy King is definitely a pro when it comes to creating a full effect lip; and these babies certainly aren't slacking.

Sway, Saunter and Strut swatched

Each gloss is applied using a soft built in brush. Although hygiene lovers mightn't be too thrilled with this form of application, these products are simply too delicious to not have a peak at in-store. My one issue though - bizarrely - lies with the lids. Whilst 2 of my 3 glosses shut securely, 1 pen repeatedly becomes uncapped. No major issue if you plan to keep them safe at home, but a real snag for those of us who like a daily top up when out and about.

Strut applied to heavily pigmented lips

Lipstick Queen's glosses are Beauty Bite favourites; sweetly scented, well wearing, perfectly pigmented and completely free of stickiness - if you haven't tried them out yet then this set definitely makes a great introduction. Currently retailing at just £14 (£4.60 a pen) these shinning stars of shimmer will most certainly put some swagger back into your step.

Lipstick Queen Peacock Alley is available from spacenk.co.uk for £14.
